We’re in the dog days of summer, DEEP in the football offseason. One manifestation of this? Today’s assignment.
Ranking the top 10 active NFL triplets by college affiliation.
It’s a file that can be viewed cynically as a listicle fishing for clicks. But this undertaking can also be seen congenially as a summertime appetizer for the fall football feast. Whichever side you fall on, I aim to provide a brief distraction from the real world with this fanciful marriage of the footballs, college and pro.
Before we dig into the list(icle), a couple housekeeping notes:
In assembling triplets, I’m going with the traditional components: quarterback, running back and wide receiver. Sometimes, people tweak the formula to include tight ends, but this rundown obeys the most straightforward version of the concept: QB/RB/WR.
All player selections and rankings are made with an eye toward the coming NFL season. Past accomplishments factor in, no doubt, but this is a forward-looking exercise, projecting how players will perform in 2025. Consequently, rookies are eligible.
Enough dilly-dally. To the countdown!
